    Nice watches, especially the Volcanic DNA! If I had 18k to burn, this would be on the short list

    Haven't read through the whole thread but,since I'm older school generation....I long to have a mechanical wind up watch again. Batteries wear out.Watch repair gives someone a job and brings back quality and craftsmanship.

    I hear that! There are some very good quartz watches around these days, but for my money all the best movements are mechanical, self-winding (automatic). I'm not an expert on all the different movements, but the bit of pre-purchase research I did brought up a few that still have an almost legendary status today, e.g. the Valjoux 7750 or the Lemania 5100. The 5100 has been used in famous timepieces e.g. the Omega Speedmaster, Orfina Porsche, Silberstein Krono Bauhaus, Sinn EZM1, and others. I got the Sinn used from a friend who bought it new around '99 - it's due for service now, just for a general check-up and because the tritium is dead, but the 5100 movement is still keeping surprisingly accurate time (like -10 to - 15 seconds per day).

    Might get on line tonight and see what's out there on the market. I have my grandfathers old pocketwatch that I'm going to get fixed one day when I have the dough.

    Sold all my fancy stuff,have a few speedmasters I rarely wear anymore,to big and heavy.
    These days I like my military stuff,light simple,and with tritium filled tubes, I can navigate to the bathroom several times each night just by the emitted light

    I rarely see a watch that I don't like.

    That said, I have not bought a new watch in 25 years...I just can't find anything I like better than my Oyster.
